In Albuquerque for
Concert October 15

Sixty future Naval aviators from
the Naval Air Training Command,
Pensacola, Fla., will appear in a
concert before the Sandia Women’s
Club meeting, Friday, Oct 15, at the
Officers’ Club.

Principal engagement of the choir
will be at Carlisle Gym at the Uni¬
versity of New Mexico on Saturday
evening, the 16th. Television per¬
formances and a tea dance are also

With the approach of hunting sea¬
son, Sandia members of the New
Mexico Game Patrol, an Albuquer¬
que conservation organization, were
waterproofing their tents and looking
over camp gear for their annual trek
into New Mexico hunting areas.

Each year Sandia members of the
association assist paid wardens of
the New Mexico Game and Fish
department in patroling forest areas
throughout the state. Commissioned
as deputy wardens of the State Game
and Fish department, Game Patrol
members assist campers in locating
good camp sites, in policing camp
areas, and in furnishing information
as to game limits, seasons, or pos¬
sible location of game.

Voluntary Group
Ed Amonette, 6010, president,
heads the wholly voluntary organi¬
zation, most of whose members have
attended a five-day warden training
course conducted by the State Game
and Fish department. Ed’s wife,
Barbara, is the first woman in the
state to receive a Game Patrol com¬
mission.

Game Patrolmen are authorized to
check licenses, where necessary, and
possess identical powers of State
Game Wardens.

Are You Protected?

So far almost 3,000 San¬
dia Corporation employees
have applied for the new Hos¬
pitalization-Surgical Insurance
now available. These people
will receive the generous pro¬
tection provided in the plan in
case a trip to the hospital is
necessary.

One of the best ways to be
thrifty is to be prepared for
hospital and surgical bills. The
plan is an economical way to
be ready for that unexpected
expense.

ance plan is with the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of America and is
designed to give Sandia Corporation
employees good protection at a mod¬
erate premium. Cost to employees is
as follows:

Individual employee $2.16 per month

Employee and dependents $7.77 per
month.

The protection offered in this group
policy for Sandia Corporation em¬
ployees includes:

Hospital expense insurance.

Surgical reimbursement insurance.

Medical expense benefits.

Polio reimbursement benefits.

Officials of the insurance company
have pointed out that the premium for
this protection is much lower than what
it would be if an individual bought this
same policy for himself.

Group insurance, Equitable points
out, is cheaper because the purchasers
are buying in a large quantity.

Likewise, the more Sandia Corpora¬
tion employees who buy this insurance,
the more likely will be the chances of a
dividend at the end of the year which
could be used to provide even greater
benefits.

It's the Unexpected . . .

"I was going to take a good vacation, but . . ." Famous
last words are these for that vacation went a-flying when un¬
expected hospital and surgical bills wiped away a good-sized
nest egg.

A new car may go unpurchased in exchange for the mend¬
ing of a broken leg. Or the next year at college for son or
daughter may turn into a full-time job elsewhere for the young
man or woman while Dad pours every dime he has into paying
for an injury.

It's always tough to go to a hospital, but the blow is less¬
ened when you know that much of the expense, even if it runs
into thousands, will be taken care of by your Hospitalization-
Surgical Insurance Plan.

Sign up today—it's the unexpected expense that ruins the
bank account.

handicapped worker—at Goodwill Industries, a Community Chest agency,

Feather solicitor in 1900. Both Sandians are now working with a corps
of 650 fellow employees to obtain 100% individual participation toward
the largest city campaign goal in Red Feather history: $339,573.

Fire Prevention—Year-Long Task

Tomorrow the country winds up observance of Fire Pre¬
vention Week—it started October 3. Sandia Corporation em¬
ployees, as well as AEC and Civil Service workers, have had fire
prevention brought to their minds by several displays through¬
out the area.

However, fire safety should be observed throughout the
year, not for one week only. One week is used for special em¬
phasis in reminding us of the effort, but this effort to avoid
fires never ends.

Sandia Corporation has an enviable record when it comes
to loss by fire. In nine and one-half months fire damage has
been $37.50. The amount of AEC property which has gone
up in smoke in past years at Sandia is negligible. That fine
record is not the result of one week of concentration on fire
prevention. It is the result of year 'round vigilance by the Base
fire department, Sandia Corporation Plant Security Department,
and each Corporation employee.

If only all loss-by-fire records could be as good as the rec¬
ord of our company! Unfortunately, they are not.

Here are a few figures: There are more than 600,000
building fires in the United States every year; smoking and
matches cause 116,000 of these; in the past decade 100,000
people have died by fire; every day there are 33 deaths by fire.

This year's slogan, "Let's grow up—not burn up," can only
come true if fire safety is observed throughout the year, not
for just one week.

Carl Waugh, 1722, and his wife
will leave tonight for Ada, Okla., to

ing for prospective members.

Chairman Mel Pliner, 1633, along
with Charles R. Barncord 1631,
Lewis Butler 1931, G. W. Cromie
1941, and Holt Gay 1243, are the ones
to contact. Mel’s home ’phone num¬
ber is Alb. 6-1907.

The Sandians have outlined these
projects if the club is formed: Ral¬

formation, location of parts, and res¬
toration of the Model “A”s to near
original condition.

Welcome!

Other Than Yourself, Is There Anyone You’d Like To Be?

MARYBELLE ARNOLD,
2362: I’m really quite satis¬
fied just being me, but I
wouldn’t mind changing places
with someone who’s on vaca¬
tion in Hawaii! It’s always
been my life’s ambition to go
to Hawaii. I'm not too inter¬
ested in living there perman¬
ently, but I’d certainly like to
go for a couple of months, at
least.

FELIX E. CASTILLO,
2472: I’d enjoy changing

places with a cattle rancher.
It’d have to be a large ranch,
preferably in New Mexico,
and be successful—lots of cat¬
tle, naturally! I’d like that
type of life, the money angle
wouldn't be too important, but
if the ranch were successful
then that, of course, would
take care of itself.

JANET R. GOBER, 1925: DAN HELD, 4233: I’d

LOLA LENZ, 3162: No,
there isn’t! I have no great
ambitions! I’m just happy
being myself. I've never even
thought of being another per¬
son. Of course, I love ballet,
and I admire the ballerinas—
but I wouldn’t care to be one.
You’ll just have to say I have
no imagination, I guess.

MANSFORD DRUM¬
MOND, JR., 5541: I guess
I’d like to have been a mathe¬
matician in the 18th Century.
That was when mathematics
underwent such a great devel¬
opment. To pick out one
person, for instance, I’d say
Euler, a foremost authority on
differential equations. Of
course, math is my field, so
that’s why I have the parti¬
cular interest.

Gil Eggert's Article Will
Be Published in "Desert"

Standards Engineer Gil Eggert,
1632, who includes article writing
among several hobbies, has sold a story
to “Desert".

“Adventure in Agate” will appear in
a forthcoming issue of the magazine
which is published in Palm Springs,
Calif. It details a rock hunting expedi¬
tion in the Apache National Forest in
Catron County, New Mexico. Gil’s
writing hobby paid off for him a year
ago, too, when “New Mexico Maga¬
zine” purchased one of his articles.

CHILD CARE

Local Lumber

He obtains most of his lumber and
building needs from a local Jemez
mountain sawmill, but hauls cement,
cement blocks and wiring from Albu¬
querque.

“Bill Kingsley of Industrial Hy¬
giene is one of my neighbors,” Tom
says, “and Ernie Jakl of 5423 is
building a fine place on Lot No. 11
of the section.”

Tom’s place is a short V/z hour
drive from his Albuquerque front
door, and now, as it nears comple¬
tion, he estimates he’s put in about
$1,000 for the mountain chateau,
complete (next spring) with running
water, electricity, and a field stone
fireplace that rambles across one
whole wall.

The Banks family slept in their
new retreat for the first time this
weekend. With a show of unconcern,
Tom says a cat fight in his mountain
backyard kept him and his wife
awake. But after some reflection he
adds pensively, “Come to think of it.
those beasts were a little larger than
cats.”
